SHOW CHARACTER SET
[LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]
The SHOW CHARACTER SET statement shows all
available character sets. The
LIKE clause, if present,
indicates which character set names to match. The
WHERE clause can be given to select rows
using more general conditions, as discussed in
Section 19.27, “Extensions to SHOW Statements”. For example:
mysql> SHOW CHARACTER SET LIKE 'latin%';
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
| Charset | Description | Default collation | Maxlen |
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
| latin1 | cp1252 West European | latin1_swedish_ci | 1 |
| latin2 | ISO 8859-2 Central European | latin2_general_ci | 1 |
| latin5 | ISO 8859-9 Turkish | latin5_turkish_ci | 1 |
| latin7 | ISO 8859-13 Baltic | latin7_general_ci | 1 |
+---------+-----------------------------+-------------------+--------+
The Maxlen column shows the maximum number of
bytes required to store one character.
